Lineage

The rSIR image reconstruction algorithm (Long and Daum, 1998; Long and Brodzik, 2016) was applied to SMOS L1C data (version 724) at 37.5°-42.5° incidence angle.

The algorithm from Leduc-Leballeur et al., 2020 (https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-539-2020) was used to detect the wet snow from the time series of brightness temperatures from 2010-04-01 to 2024-03-31.
